I have a table with a lot of fields(over 100) when i try and add any more, i get an error message saying :

"- Unable to modify table.
ADO error: Cannot create a row of size 8068 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060.
The statement has been terminated."

Is there a way to make the MSDE handle a bigger Row size bigger

A 100+ columns for a table seems a little excessive! Sounds like you may need to re-think your design a little.

What kind of data are you trying to store ?

The 8,060 byte per row limit is fixed in SQL Server and MSDE, it is the size of a data page. I agree with macka, you may want to reconsider your table design, or post the exact structure here.
